// As usual I am doing Vierapril again this year. The Hyth AU I'm using for it is a bit different from the one I played here, but I figured a few people might still be interested. (T'asir, I'm looking at you. ๐)
Thank you!
Would you happen to have a link to the third list you pulled from, the one starting with 1: Sunrise? I've found the OGs of the other two, but that one I'm not finding anywhere.
(Because apparently I also have masochistic tendencies...)
[Also, this is tangentially relevant to this account bc they're Hythades fan comics lol.]
< or know someone who can, please get in touch with me (bsky DMs should be open) and let me know what your rates would be.
(Hopefully it'll be a simple task, but I don't know Japanese well enough to judge.)
If things go well, I may eventually have future w0rk also.
< certain lines. That is to say, occasionally there are lines that I find questionably translated (e.g. weird SFX, use of a particular word or phrase that seems out of place compared to the English phrase, weird third person instead of first, etc), etc.
If you can provide this translation checking>
< for minor corrections, whereas Google was so far off that I didn't bother last time I read through these). But YMMV on the ethics of this, and if you ethically cannot contribute to this (or hate me because of it), I fully understand.
The tl;dr j0b description is: I need a real human to check>
< Google Translate so this still wouldn't have been a job I paid a human for, but I've found the (probable LLM) translation site to look more accurate. I consider this an ethical grey area because it's actually CREATING a job for a human (it's a close enough translation that I actually want to pay >
2) Full disclosure for ethical reasons: I'm using what I believe is probably a LLM (it's just a site but from the name I assume LLM) for all the translation because I simply don't have the $$$ to get all of it done by hand and could never get it done at all that way.
Previously I had done it using>
A couple notes:
1) The reason I had to write paยฅ instead of the actual word is because when casually mentioning a c0mmissi0n, I got absolutely FLOODED with bots, and I wasn't even looking for a person there. I'm hoping this will be legible to humans but skip the bots so that my inbox is only humans.
hi this account is still dead bc bsky RP is hard with the char limit, but I'm shamelessly using it to amplify my ooc reach.
I'm looking for someone who knows XIV extensively and can fluently read Japanese to help augment some translations of some of the fan comics I own. Can paยฅ within reason.

//reposting because Thancred is also a very dear friend of mine and also you should 100% send me your first reactions to the house(go inside. Do it!) for me to share with him upon his return โค๏ธ
I suspect that it would.
Perhaps you might even deign to provide a picnic that you might enjoy with a particular companion....? ๐ฅบ
You speak falsely with such words: the poem is beautiful. It captures your heart and feelings, as true poetry should. I see no reason to fault you on any of it.
[A chuckle marks the rolling of eyes, a fond smile teasing at Hyth's lips.]
I am doing well. I have been exploring this beautiful new world -- have you ever been to the Sea of Clouds? Between the boundless sky and all the flying creatures, I daresay even *Hermes* would have found himself smiling.
Solus and Viera Hythlodaeus cuddle beneath a comforter while asleep.
Made a #hythades gpose to try and cheer up a friend when they were having a rough day.
It strikes me sometimes how very much alike you two have become. It is a beautiful poem.
[It doesn't take him long to read the poem, yet he stares at it for a few moments longer regardless. After a slow breath, he lowers it, then promptly moves to give Elidibus a tight, warm hug.]
It is beautiful.
[He shuts his mouth abruptly, looking hesitant. Clearly, there is more he could say.]
Diiiiiiiiid an Emet-Selch say my name?
....Ahem. That is to say.
How can I be of service?
Philos stares up at the Aidoneus shenanigans, thoroughly amusing and chuckling.
"bonus with slightly messed up arm, but that matches my level of amusement while doing this gpose."
Hythlodaeus collects a bunch of crows that fly about, while Hades looks on fondly. .....aaaaand the Aidoneus minion gets carried away, while Philos chuckles in the background.

Oh, and one more #hythades gpose I don't think I ever posted on Hyth....
My caption from the time:
"[Percy] has been farming the new minion a ton, including one to give to me. I couldn't resist a gpose. (especially now that I /finally/ have a computer again....)"
oops have many notif
// me: makes a gpose account

// left out too long, it's (to me) instantly funny if someone knows the ACTUAL context of that line and gets to that part of the fic. So I'm not putting that as a throwaway option, I think it genuinely has a lot of potential. But it also limits me a lot to how many lines he has, which is a lot, but.
// also to further explain A--
I think there's great potential for incidental comedy with it. Like, if he's in-game talking about someone being a dick and being like "Thy demeanor is most frigid and displeases me greatly" but I take that out of context and have him saying that to his tea which he
// ....and if B, got any suggestions?
// bsky, I need help. I have the stupidest, most idiotic idea for a crackfic that literally no one will ever read or like, but that I'll find hilarious to write. But. Urianger..
Do I:
A) rip dialogue. Anytime I need something original, accept it'll suck
B) find an Urianger RPer and beg them to help
// โฅ I'm still around on discord occasionally when I have the energy, I just haven't had the energy for bsky. Someday, I hope to again, hopefully. @_@

(....yes, I am alive, just not by much and not really on bsky atm, sorry lmao.)
